... back in the pork adventure. As promised a few weeks ago, we'll be cooking it from head to toe... After the feet (in escabeche), we gonna explore the fillet mignon, with a PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MAPLE SYRUP.

For you, who loves to cook and want to cook more pig, I would recommend an amazing French book : "Cochon & Fils" from Stephane Reynaud, edited by Marabout. A lot to play with!!!

The playful weather makes you want to drink rose???
Bad new : the VDP l'Oeillade from Thierry Navarre is almost out !!!

Good news : "Le Gris de Gourlaouen" 09, rose made off 100% Pineau d'Aunis by Christian Venier in Touraine, is in!!! Just by smelling it, you got the glimpse of spice & pepper; you taste it, the fruit, the spices, the pepper, the freshness, the acidity and a little residual sugar comes all together making you cry for more. Amazing job Christian, it's the best rose I tried this year so far, and the label kick ass!!!

Good news : on a more classic note, the Cotes de Provence rose from Domaine de Magdala (now without Antoine Pouponneau) delivers a dry, clean rose that has a little more material than last year because riper, yet fresh and juicy... Go for it, there's plenty!!!

Good news : Philippe Tessier's wines have landed and should be available by the middle of next week. A red Cheverny 09 (Pinot Noir / Gamay) and Cour-Cheverny "Les Sables" 09 (Romorantin), right on time.

Lobster roll is back on the menu!!!
